Veteran Dan Burks on Overcoming the Stresses of War with TM

A Vietnam war vet speaks about getting psychologically healthier after trying transcendental meditation. I've heard both good and bad things about this form of meditation. I don't know what to believe because I haven 't tried it. Director David Lynch is a big proponent of TM.

Here is the message I got from the video: If you are a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, don't suffer in silence. Don't live in hell. You were brainwashed to be a killing machine by your dishonest political and military leaders. It's not your fault that you killed women and children. You were put in an impossible situation. Suicide is not the answer. There are other ways out.
